WEBVTT 21ST GRADERS AND SIX EDUCATORS WERE KILLED. -- 20 FIRST GRADERS AND SIX EDUCATORS WERE KILLED. PROTESTERS RALLIED OUTSIDE A REPUBLICAN FUND-RAISER IN SALEM THIS MORNING. ALSO AT THE FUND-RAISER WAS THE OHIO SENATOR, ROB PORTMAN, WHO MANY CONSIDER TO BE A POTENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. A YEAR AGO, THESE TWO WERE RUMORED TO BE ON THE SHORT LIST OF RUNNING MATES FOR MITT ROMNEY. HE WAS ON THE REALLY SHORT LIST. ROB PORTMAN IS IN SALEM FOR A FUND-RAISER. HE IS NO STRANGER TO THE GRANITE STATE. WAS THINKING ON THE PLANE COMING IN FROM OHIO TODAY, I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN SEVEN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS AND NINE PRIMARIES HERE, HELPING OTHER PEOPLE. HE HAS BEEN HEAVILY CRITICIZED FOR VOTING NO ON EXPANDING BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR GUN BUYERS. SHE SAYS SHE PREFERS TO LOOK INTO MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT FIRST. THAT IS ALL WELL AND GOOD, THE FIRST NEED TO GET THE BACKGROUND CHECK AND THEN MOVE ON TO MENTAL ILLNESS. IF YOU LOOK A LOT OF THE ATTACK ADS THAT HAVE BEEN OUT THERE AGAINST THE SENATOR IN THE LAST MONTH. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN FROM OUT OF STATE. OUT OF STATE MONEY, OUT OF STATE PEOPLE IN THE ADS. THE BILL THAT WAS BEFORE CONGRESS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT IN ANY WAY ADDRESSED THAT TRAGEDY. THE SOLUTION IS DIFFERENT THAN TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHT TO SELF PROTECTION. BACK TO SENATOR PORTMAN, MIGHT HIS PRESENCE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE SIGNAL AN INTEREST IN RUNNING IN 2016? I AM FOCUS ON 2014, TRYING TO BE SURE WE OF GOOD CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR THE SENATE.
